Im Stuck…

My semester is basically as my first out of two semesters for my junior year… This year has been really tough especially coming out of hybrid learning. I was an all A student and some Bs but this year it was my first year taking AP classes and i’m taking AP Bio which i did not expect to be so difficult. Well i studied but obviously i’m not studying right and my final grade in that class is a 75 :/ im really upset about this especially since all my grades are good except this and i tried so hard to do good. Would a C on my transcript for my junior year really decline my chances of getting in schools like NYU or BU? If i pushed super hard next semester and college admission officers see i have improved could it remedy the low C i received first semester? Please help as i’m very upset over this :(

Your 75 would be an 85 on your transcript. Also GPA is a factor for admissions, however they also take your SAT or ACT scores as well as volunteer hours and extracurriculars. You’re doing great! :)
